On Monday, India successfully tested a long-range Supersonic Missile Assisted Torpedo (SMART) off the coast of Balasore, Odisha.

The weapon system is being developed for the Indian Navy by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), according to a defence official.

 

The DRDO said in a statement that "the system has been developed to boost anti-submarine warfare capability considerably beyond the typical range of the torpedo."

In Rajasthan's Pokhran shooting ranges, the country successfully flight-tested an indigenously designed helicopter-launched stand-off anti-tank (SANT) missile on Saturday.

 

According to the defence ministry, flight testing by DRDO and the Indian Air Force (IAF) was "successful" in satisfying all of the missile's mission objectives. According to the IAF, the weapon can neutralise targets at a range of up to 10 kilometres.

 

Over the previous three days, a series of successful test-firings of the Extended Range Pinaka rocket system (Pinaka-ER) were carried out.
